A Pillar of NAA: One of Our Four Cornerstones
NAAs the voice of the auction profession, the NAA holds the mission to serve its members through four key cornerstones—one of which is Promotions. The Promotions Cornerstone is responsible for encouraging public understanding and appreciation of the auction method of competitive bidding, while also showcasing the value that professional auctioneers bring to every transaction. This cornerstone leads strategic initiatives that raise visibility and awareness, such as the Behind the Gavel campaign, National Auctioneers Week, The Auction Advocate podcast, The Auctioneer magazine, and more. These efforts not only highlight the professionalism and impact of NAA members, but also elevate the broader auction industry by reinforcing trust, credibility, and the unique benefits of the auction method. Through storytelling, media, and member-focused content, promotions plays a vital role in strengthening both the association’s voice and the profession’s standing nationwide.
